I have heard rumors that former NKP 2-8-2 number 624 on display in Hammond, IN, will be moving to the FWRHS in Ft. Wayne, IN to be displayed at the museum. A post on Trainorders.com said that the Northwest Indiana Times did an article on the story on November 15th, but I can't find it on their site.

Does anyone know if this is true, and if possible, could anyone send me a link to the NWI Times article?

FWRHS said in their post on Facebook after the press release that they may be restoring it to operation. They will be doing a cosmetic restoration initially, and inspect the internals of the locomotive while doing so. I think they will wait to restore it to operation, if they decide to, after 765's 15 year overhaul in 2020.
